ANECDOTES OF RFRT.
How the French Savant Convinced Hin
self of the Efficacy of Vaccination.

How the French Savant Convinced HIM
self of the Efficacy of Vaccination.
A striking anecdote of the late Paul
Rert's intrepidity as a savant is related.
Some years ago he visited Havre while
severe epidemic of smallpox was
raging in that port. Noticing on his
return to Paris that the mortality was
sally on the increase, he began to en-
sertain doubts as to the efficacy of vac
"'nation as prophylactic, and re-
solved to solve the problem to his own
satisfaction by experiments on his own
person. He accordingly got himself
vaccinated, and going fortnight af-
forwards to Charlie hospital he had
himself inoculated with the virus of
man who was dying from the small
FOX. No i'll effects having resulted
from this terrible experiment., Nj. Paul
Bert was completely won over to the
cause of vaccination, which through
out the remainder of his. life had no
warmer supporter. The Lancet says
OF M. Bert that las man of science
he was an original worker and an ac-
complished popularizer. He took an
interest in every thing, and rapidly as
Simulated all that he studied. But as q
matter of fact, this extreme versatility
prevented him from making more than
beginning in whatever he undertook,
whether in politics, science, law or
mathematics, and it may be added the
ology. IN Y. Post.

DULUTH'S GROWTH,
A Marvellous Testimonial to the Great Re-
sources of the Northwest.

sources of the Northwest.
Duluth is situated at the far western
end of Lake Superior, where that great
body of fresh water iuts an arm in be-
tween Minnesota and Wisconsin. 1t
possesses, therefore, an unbroken water
communication with the Atlantic Ocean
from point 200 miles nearer the vast
western granary than any other city.
In 1869 there were dozen houses on
the present site of the place and per-
haps 100 people. In 1889 the popula-
ton had increased to $40; one year
later it was 1880; another twelvemonth
brought it to $4,000, and now no en-
thusiastic Duluthian will accept less
than $4,000 inhabitants. The story of
its strides reads like repetition of the
experience of Chicago when the phe-
nomenal development of the trade of
that city was awakening the envy of
near rivals and exciting the incredulity
of those who did not guess the posi-
bilities of the boundless West. When
Duluth built its first grain elevator il
was considered a hazardous undertake
ing, but to-day its score of elevators
will accommodate II, 100000 bushels Of
wheat, and so eager is the demand for
room that even now, when the snow is
flying and the air near the zero point,
new elevators are being pressed to
completion to hold the grain in the
hundreds of cars which stand ready to
be unloaded.
This proof that another great city is
soon to be added to the magnificent
galaxy that already studs the Misss-
sippi valley will be renewed source of
pride to the American people. 1t is u
new proof of the necessity for revising
the impressions many people have OF
that vast area which stretches between
the upper Mississippi river and the
Rocky Mountains. The biographies
studied by men who have hardly begun
to grow gray pictured this region as an
arid desert, without forests or rainfall
and unfit for civilized life And yet it
is the productiveness of this neighbour
hood, its millions of bushels of wheat
and corn and its countless herds. sup
ported by boundless pastures. that has
built up the great cities of the North
west and is constantly demanding
more and larger marts for the exchange
of its products. The description of the
cities of that region which have sprung
up apparently by magic, and of the
transformation of sterile plains into
fertile gardens and farms, as if an en-
chanted wand had passed over them,
has been given often, and rs often it
was supposed that the limit had been
reached But the marvellous growth
of Duluth proves that there are still
undeveloped possibilities in that coun-
try, the disclosure of which will tax tho
energies and add to the achievements
and future prosperity OF the American
nation. Philadelphia Press.

USES OF STRAW.
How 1t Can BE Made One of the Import
ant Items of Farm Economy.

How 1t Can Be Made One of the Import
ant Items OF Farm Economy.
The value of straw is too little taken
into account either on or off the farm.
Too many farmers seem to act on the
principle that it should be fed to cattle.
This is the least important of its uses.
Its value as food is so slight that cattle
fed exclusively on straw would die
about as soon as when fed on any such
substance, as dead leaves, for instance,
the only use of which is to properly
distend the stomach. The feeding use
of straw. therefore, is only in connec-
ton with concentrated food.
But there are other uses of the straw
of cereal grains which render it an inn
portant integer in farm economy. One
of these is the covering of sheds. An
other and the most important is its use
as bedding for animals. Another use
to which it may be proftably used when
cold and winds are severe, is in form
ing an impervious barrier, by filling
space foot wide between two rough
walls of sheds. These walls may be
made of any rough material, as slabs,
poles, but near enough together to pre-
vent the pulling out of the straw by
the animals. Thus sheds and stables
may be rendered as warm as much
more costly structures.
The use of straw is too much ignored
as means of comfort used as bedding
for animals. Under sheds it should be
laid foot thick, and in the yards not
less than six inches. In stables that
are regularly cleaned it should be not
less than six inches in thickness. Thus
it will fully soak up and hold the liquids
and retain them while spread on the
land to be plowed under. 1t takes no
more material as bedding six inches in
thickness than less. for only the soiled
portion need be removed. The added
value to. the animals in conserving
warmth is not generally estimated.
1t not only keeps animals comfort
able, but as manure straw. is valuable
principally in proportion to the liquid
manure it has soaked up. 1t will pay
to use literally in the directions we
have mentioned, and less so rs food
in winter than is generally practiced. -

BRIGHTLlNGSEA MEN.


Nursing Grounds Whore the Most Deli
cately Favored Mollusc Exists.
Brightlingsea men, of certain quaiifi-
cations, are made free of the river and
may, outside the boundaries of the
private grounds, exercise their rights
with the dredging net. The right to
fish these waters for oysters was granted
to Colchester by Richard l., under
which charter the work at Brightling-
sea, the nursing ground of the so-called
Colchester native" is now carried on.
But of course the ordinary oyster fisher
depends chiefly on his luck on the dam
gerous North Sea, where, unhappily,
the dredging is only done at great risk
of life. To the wives of these hardy
fellows, who provide our tables with
luxuries at the peril of their lives, and
for small, very small gain. the oyster
season is very much what the harvest is
to the field laborer. As for the dainty
itself, it is rarely tasted by them and GER
tainly not valued as an article of food,
Perhaps when the Romans discovered
the bivalve down here the natives ate
them themselves. but it is almost GER
tain that they used the first opportunity
that presented itself of selling the Colne
produce, a practice which has been
successfully carried on ever since.
The Romans were at all times great
eonnoisseurs of oysters, and the dis
covery of this fertile patch of ostreal
marsh land may possibly account for
the extended dimensions of the en-
campment all about this district. Hap

stale the fat, favored mollusk
of these winding, shallow rays. The
Romans loved and exported them to
their own waters; the Virgin Queen
fully appreciated the horse loads of
them sent by Walsingham and Leices-
ter, and the luxurious burgomastcrs of
Holland for many a year sent across
for the Colchester native, to be washed
down, doubtless, by potent schnapps
on festive occasions; yet their fame
endures even unto this day, and neither

THE THREE WIZARDS,
Brothers Who Have Grown Rich and
Famous in the Hotel Business.

Brothers Who Have Grown Rich and
Famous in the Hotel Business.
''The Willards" in Washington are
three Vermont brothers, Joseph. Henry
and Caleb, named in order of their
ages. The latter is proprietor of the
Ebbitt, worth one or two millions.
Henry owns much property and bonds.
With Joseph, the elder, he is joint
owner of the Willard hotel, which
they kept for years. His estate is away
up in the millions and growing. Joseph
is the richer as we'll as the elder of
the three, and is said to spend much of
his time cutting coupons from bonds.
He is in no active business. He is %
widower. and one son is the only heir.
He lives the life of a recluse. If he is
not good lover he is good Halter.
He has little to do with mankind in
general, albeit he has the appearance
of ld-mannered, benevolent-minded
gentleman of siXty-five years. He and
Caleb have not spoken for years.
Joseph does the hating and Caleb the
grinning and bearing. The latter owns
long row of property on + street,
beginning with the Ebbitt. Only one
strip of twelve feet interrupts his con-
tinuous ownership from Thirteenth to
Fourteenth street. 1t is next to the
Ebbitt. This strip Joseph owns. Caleb
has tried every means to buy it. Joseph
holds it solely to spite his brother. 1t
is occupied by tenantless one-story
structure. Not a great while ago a
suave, business-like gentleman called
upon Joseph and stated that he
was looking for location to establish
a candy mandatory. He was i'm
pressed with the f street location. and
wanted to know if it was in the market
Joseph Willard replied that he would
sell if he could get his price. Then his
visitor asked the terms. Looking up
and catching the business mans eye,
he said: 'My price is 100000. You
go back to C. c. Willard who sent you
here, and tell him that" 1t is said
that Joseph has so fixed it in his will
that the property can never fall into
Caleb's hands or the haads of his heirs.
That he is insane is not suspected. He
loves his mother, and makes a daily

he hates. He and Henry, though not
alienated, have little intercourse. There
is nothing the matter between Henry
and Caleb. The singularity spoken of
is lodged specially with Joseph. He
dresses neatly, does not seek inter
course with his fellows, and only a few
persons have dealings with him. Gen
eral Boynton has his confidence and is
sometimes the medium of commune
cation between him and others in
business transactions. He appears to
be as happy as any one and attends the
church of which he is a member. He
is tall and handsome and active. His
wife was one of the handsomest women
in Washington.
Henry and Caleb are enterprising
citizens and loving brothers. Both
contribute literally to benevolent OBJ
iects, especially to the churches to
which they belong Cor. Pittsburgh

THE RELIC CRAZE.

A True Incident Which Sounds Morc
AbsurdIy Strange Than Fiction.
Pottery reminds me of phase If the
relic craze which presented itself to my
attention the other day. A lady, who
has passed the summer in Europe, sent
for an artist who has done some
admirable and successful decorative
work and informed him that she
wished to give him commission. She
then had servant bringi in what seemed
to be about half bushel of bits ofrock,
cement and similar rubbish, with two
or three pebbles neatly wrapped in
paper.
"These," she explained to the
astonished artist, "are the relics |
gathered abroad. They are all labeled
and came from famous places. l
worked so hard for some of them! That
stone came from Salisbury Cathedral.
1t was inside an iron fence, and | had
to attract the guides attention to the
tower by asking him the measurements
of some of the ornaments. Then stood
on the foundation of the fence and
leaned overland | give you my word
was lame for weeks from those dread
full pickets!-and hit it with my parasol
till l could reach through and get it.
And this"
And so she ran on, while the other
sat silent in sheer amazement. until she
said:
"Now, 1 want all these worked into
some beautiful design, something sym
bolical, you know. You do make such
lovely things; and they can all be set
in cement or something. These peb-
bles," she continued, unrolling one OF
the packages, "all come from Abbots-
ford, and these l shall have set into
stucco in the shape of heart-for
The Heart of Midlothian, you know
and hang it up in the library" The
unlucky designer stammered he knew
not what, but something which he said
probably endangered his future well
fare, since outwardly he lied and in
wardly he cursed; while the lady, pay
ing small heed to him. opened with an
air of the utmost reverence q small box
and took out something wrapped in
tissue.
"This." she said, "this should be the
center, for this is the most precious of
all" She unrolled the tissue paper
and disclosed fragment of coarse,
modern, brown pottery, at which she
gazed with reverential air The artist
bent forward and regarded it also, en-
deavoring in vain to guess why it was
SO choice and rare.
"What is thatP" he managed to ask
at length, divided between amusement
and impatience at her folly.
That" she answered, that is from
Shakespeare tomb.
He stared at it and at her, more puz-
zled than ever.
"Shakespeare's tomb?" he repeated.
Yes" she explained with an air of
restrained triumph. ''When was there
a workman was doing something to the
wall, and he had big pitcher of water
with him. Somehow or other it got
knocked down, and this piece fell ex-
actly beneath the bust of Shakespeare.
Quick as thought put my foot over it,
and when he picked up the pieces he
didn't see this, and | secured it. Did
you ever know any thing so lucky?"
Now, this is one of those things which
are more absurdly strange than fiction,
and very likely nobody will believe it;
but it happens to be a fact for all that.

Story of a Mad Stone.


w. r. Sonner, of Fort Worth. Tex,
has a maidstone that has been used
over one hundred times and with sue

Wilson, of Alabama, killed a white
deer. and, knowing the Indian theory.
looked in its stomach, and there found
a stone as large as II goose egg that re-
sembled a petrilied sponge. This was
the maidstone. The Indian theory is
that the white deer is more susceptible
to vegetable poisons taken into the
stomach when eaten with grass than
other animals. To preserve the life of
the animal nature has placed in the
stomach this porous stone, which abb
serbs the poison, neut,alizes it, and
saves the deer's life. The stone, APP

been injected, at once draws it out, and
